Trump Said, "Authority is Total" .The Republican Party Historically disagrees. This is the opening! [View all]

....Moderates can say, "We do not agree" and stand up against that comment because it is not true. History of the Republicans is just the opposite. The President does..not have "total authority" as everyone knows. It is shared power

Trump has opened the door to opposition in his party. This statement is a complete lie, and believers in shared power will stand up against this. It is a clear and obvious comment that goes against the Constitution.

Yes, there will be a discussion of the Constitution and the president's power, but Trump will not win. The door is clearly open to opposition from a whole lot of people. Every historian and supporter of the Constitution will stand against Trump. We will see, but this could be a turning point in this discussion. Only time will tell.....
....and of course, ..next November's election will decide it all.
